It's been obvious for some time that Google has tainted the natural search algorithm by adding the dollar sign into the equation.

I have customers who spend quite a bit on Adwords, and also were spending on SEO.

Several months ago I told them that I feel there is no longer anything to gain from doing SEO work to improve ranking for commercial sites on Google -- that I was convinced that Google is doing exactly what this "tool" suggests.

The search engine / advertising honeymoon is over.

If you want to play (Google), you gotta pay (Google).
